A Tom Keefe Christmas Song
(To the tune of “I’ll be Home for Christmas”)
By Bill McCurdy, Eddie Gaedel Society,
Spokane Chapter # 1 (by way of Houston)
He – spoke out – in Spokane,
‘Neath the – Christmas tree:
“Please – walk bold – this story’s old,
But it rings true – to me!
“Eddie Gae-del’s – my man!
Deep from his-toe-ree,
“He stood tall – in Browns base ball,
Fulfilling – ageless – themes,
“Games played great – not by height – or weight,
But by – how YOU – face – the ball!
“Christmas Eve – will find us,
At – O’Doherty’s – door,
Safe at home – for Christmas,
On O’D’s – sacred floor,
“And Eddie Gaedel’s – with us,
If only – in – our – dreams!”

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Can spring training be far behind?

Nice addition to Browns lore.
